Shouldice Athletic Park
Calgary, Alberta
(Many thanks to Dan (the man) Lidgren for capturing these and sending them to me)
Very rainy all through the morning, some events were moved to a nearby
curling rink and some events took place in the crowded Beer Tent due to the
abysmal weather. The rain stopped during the band contests but it was
extremely cold all day.

September 3, 2000 - Canmore Highland Games
Many thanks to Jay Johnson for capturing these and sending them to me.
| There were sun breaks...but the morning solo competitors faced a constant
drizzle, the rain backed off in the afternoon and actually provided some brief sun breaks
between the mostly cloudy skies. There was even fresh snow in the mountains surrounding
Canmore. Royal Band Gold Medal Piobaireachd - Ann Gray, Calgary, AB |
